The success of the LET’S GO program depends on financial donations and volunteerism. Go to the ‘support LGBG’ button for more information on financial donations. The opportunities to volunteer are outlined in this section.

Why do we need volunteers?

The primary reason we need volunteers is because there is insufficient paid staff in the Boys & Girls Club and other agencies to organize and deliver the LET’S GO program.

The second reason is that we want to tap the breadth and depth of technical and organizational talent available in industry and government and within the retired community.

We want to make volunteering in the LET’S GO program easy and rewarding. We can tailor a volunteer project for you based on your time availability and your areas of expertise. We can structure volunteer opportunities for as little as one hour a month or much more. We have meaningful volunteer opportunities on site with the kids or back office at your workplace of choice. Here are some ideas for on site volunteering with the B & G Club kids.

High School Students

We know that many of you want to accumulate community service hours in worthwhile, interesting areas. How about serving as a homework tutor during Power Hour from 3:30 to 4:30 Mon thru Thurs! We start our Or work in Math Monday tutoring for selected middle school students. There is a great opportunity to serve as Assistant Coaches in our FIRST Lego League Robotics Teams (for kids ages 9 to 14) and our Junior FIRST Lego League Teams (for kids ages 6 to 9). Team sessions start at 5:00 PM and last about 1 hour. See the ‘Event’ tab for FLL and Jr FLL team sessions in each of the five Boys & Girls Club sites. And we could use help delivering our weekly hands on science experiments and mentoring our elementary school and middle school students with their science research projects.

College Students

All of the above volunteer opportunities for high school students apply to college students. In addition there are great opportunities to participate in our life skills programs (Smart Girls for the young girls and Passport to Manhood for the young boys). Smart Girls sessions are held at 5:00PM every Wednesday and Passport to Manhood sessions at 5:00PM every Thursday. There are leadership programs such as Keystone and Torch Club that can benefit from college age mentors. And as we schedule college and career seminars, we could use some real life stories of successful college age students pursuing professional careers.

Industry Professionals

All of the above volunteer opportunities for high school and college students apply of course to adults. Specifically we need adults from the professional world to serve as coaches, mentors, organizers and roll models in each and every one of our LET’S GO programs. We are looking for industry professionals to deliver career seminars.

Retired Professionals

This is the community that we really want to mobilize to volunteer at the Boys & Girls Clubs. The big advantage for this group of volunteers is day and time flexibility. The largest number of kids come to the B & G Clubs directly from school. This is the best time to tutor the kids during their Power Hour home work period. This is the best time to guide them into the follow on program activities such as FIRST Lego League robotics, science experiments and other elements of the LET’S GO program. ‘Build it and they will come’. ‘Be there and they will participate.’
